Noh Hong Chul has released an official apology through MBC following his drunk driving incident earlier this morning on November 8th.

The apology wrote,

"This is Noh Hong Chul.

I sincerely apologize for causing inconvenience to the viewers due to my drinking and driving earlier this morning.

I'm very sorry for showing a disappointing image of myself to many people who care for me due to my wrong judgment at the moment. I'm painfully reflecting for not having a better self management.

Therefore, I have delivered my wish to step from all the programs that I'm currently joining to the production crews. I made this decision in order to no longer cause any discomfort to all the viewers.

From now on I will continue to take time to go into a self-reflection and self-restrain. Once again I would like to apologize to all the viewers".

Noh Hong Chul are currently joining both 'Infinity Challenge' and 'I Live Alone' on MBC. Even though the production teams said that they are still looking into the issue, but it seems Noh Hong Chul has made up his mind to withdraw from both programs.

Noona Says: If You Give an Idol a (Tough) Cookie….

Noona Says: If You Give an Idol a (Tough) Cookie….

…he’s going to ask for RESPECT CUZ HE AIN’T NO IDOL BUT LEGIT THUG RAPPER YA HEAR?

zico

When you give him the respect, he’ll probably ask for HOES AND BITCHES TO SUCK ON BANANAS AND TWERK UNTIL THEY GET OSTEOPOROSIS.

zico

When he’s finished, he’ll ask for A STYLIST THAT IS SO GANGSTA SHE SEWS CONFEDERATE FLAG PATCHES ON HIS DESIGNER CLOTHES.

zico

Then he’ll want to look into a mirror to make sure HIS GRILLZ ARE PROPERLY FITTING ON HIS BAD ASS MOUTH.

zico

When he looks in the mirror, he might notice that THERE AREN’T ENOUGH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES IN THIS SONG ABOUT TOUGH COOKIES. DAMN STRAIGHT CHOCOLATE CHIP IS THE TOUGHEST COOKIE. NO ROOM FOR MADELEINES AND THIN MINTS IN THIS BATHTUB.

zico

So he’ll probably ask for more cookies BE BROUGHT TO HIS RAPPER BUDDY’S MOUTH BY THE BANANA GIRL.

zico

Since his friend had a cookie, he will FORCE HIS RAPPER FRIEND TO DO PUSH UPS WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE HE SHOULD BE DOING CRUNCHES INSTEAD.

zico

After his friend has taken off and put his shirt back on again, he will want to THROW HIS BLOCK B MEMBERS A BONE BY LETTING THEM APPEAR IN THE VIDEO but he might get carried away and ONLY BRING THEM BACK ONCE MAYBE TWICE.

block b

When he’s forgotten about the rest of his members he will DROP NAMES TO LEGITIMIZE HIS K-RAP STREET CRED. THEN YA’LL RECOGNIZE HE IS THE KING BECAUSE HE OVERCAME LEGAL BATTLES AND CONTROVERSY.

zico

Then he will realized that HE WANTS TO PLAY POKER IN A BILL COSBY SWEATER. STYLIST, WHERE IS MY BILL COSBY SWEATER?

zico

To go with his sweater he will WANT TO BE APPRECIATED FOR HIS FASHION-FORWARD STYLES IN THE ANTIQUE BATHROOM.

zcio

When he’s done with that, he’ll realize that HE STILL NEEDS THE RESPECT WHICH IS WHY HE WILL REPEAT “TOUGH COOKIE” OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT GET STUCK IN YOUR HEAD AND IN YOUR MIND THAT ZICO IS A TOUGH COOKIE. KNA WHAT I’M SAYIN’?

noragrets

[On a serious note, I know some of you want me to address the controversy that international fans have with this song. Zico clearly intended this song to fall in the category of rap/hip hop, a genre full of offensive words and puffed-up boasts. As for his choice of clothing, . For me, I was more bothered by the fact that there wasn't a single English speaker in his team that could have questioned his choice of the phrase "tough cookie." But that's just me.]

[Exclusive Interview] Kiha and the Faces Shares 10 Songs to Listen to in 10 Situations

Since most of the Korean music scene is dominated by K-pop, it might be hard to find artists of other genres - but the Korean indie scene is alive and well.

And Kiha and the Faces have been, well, the face of the Korean indie scene for some time now, releasing a string of hits that you may or may not have heard of - but you should add to your playlist immediately.

Mwave met with the six members of Kiha and the Faces for an exclusive interview prior to the group′s MEET&GREET on November 25 to get the lowdown on their music and style.

We asked the band what Kiha and the Faces songs are best to listen to in 10 different situations - and unsurprisingly, the group was able to come up with a pretty awesome playlist - we′ve got the full list below, so if you′re feeling a little K-popped out, keep on reading to see what Kiha and the Faces songs you should listen to!

And if you′re feeling their music - make sure to purchase a signed Kiha & the Faces Human Mind album here!

[Exclusive Interview] Kiha and the Faces Shares 10 Songs to Listen to in 10 Situations

1. When You′re Drunk: I Don′t Remember (기억 안 나)
(No Video - sorry!)


"The lyrics work well in real life, since if a guy says to a girl, "Hey I don′t remember what happened last night," ... so if you′re talking about being drunk, those lyrics seem to fit the best."
- Kiha and the Faces



2. When You Break Up: I Live In Peace (별일 없이 산다) / Didn′t You Tell Me Not To Be Hard On You? (모질게 말하지 말라며)


"If the other person messed up and you were hurt by their mistakes and that′s why you broke up, then I Live in Peace is a good song... since I think saying, " I′m doing fine without you" is the best revenge."

"But if it was the opposite, and you were the one to hurt the other, then, Didn′t You Tell Me Not To Be Hard On You? .
The song itself is a song that flips the blame. Truthfully, you′re the one who messed up, but you say, ′Hey - you did that. I just did what you told me to do.′"
- Kiha and the Faces



3. When You′re Dating: Cheapskate (구두쇠)


"The lyrics say, ′I′m not a person who can give a lot, but you′re the kind of person I want to give to.′ So I think it′s a good song to have your significant other listen to when you′re just starting to date."
- Kiha and the Faces



4. When You′re Trying to Hit On Someone: Mine (내 사람)


"The lyrics are, ′Hey I′ve looked for you for a long time... my person.′ It′s a song that essentially says I want to make you mine (my person)."
- Kiha and the Faces



5. When You′re Depressed: Human Mind (사랑의 마음)


"When you′re depressed, whether it′s because of work or studies, when you go home, you feel like you shouldn′t just go to sleep. But the lyrics say, Hey, you′ve finished all your work for today...so at least for now, let′s just sleep well.′ So wouldn′t it be comforting when you′re depressed?"
- Kiha and the Faces



6. When You′re Happy: A Twosome (그렇고 그런 사이)


"We actually don′t really have happy songs...I tend to not write songs when I′m happy. Ah, but A Twosome! The rhythym is bouncy and sassy, and in a sense, it′s a happy song, since you do end up in a twosome..."
- Kiha and the Faces



7. When You′re Traveling: I Just Keep Walking (마냥 걷는다)


"It′s a good song if you′re on a sad, lonely trip...but I mean there are a lot of different kinds of trips. If it′s a trip you′re taking alone, so you can feel loneliness and reflect on yourself...then I Just Keep Walking is a good song."
- Kiha and the Faces



8. When You′re Hungry: I Almost Had It (좋다 말았네)


"The music video for I Almost Had It features a lot of different Korean dishes. The music video could act as sort of an an appetizer
I suppose if you′re hungry and you don′t have any food at all, it could be a little torturous. But if you′re hungry and you want to whet your appetite more, then, watching the music video is a good idea."
- Kiha and the Faces



9. When You′re Angry: Although I Heard Nothing to Feel Bad About (날 보고 뭐라 그런 것도 아닌데)


"The song itself is... it′s just kind of angry. The song is cathartic when you′re feeling inferior."
- Kiha and the Faces



10. When You Run Into an Ex: I Heard Some Rumor (풍문으로 들었소) - Nameless Gangster OST (originally sung by Hahm Joong-ah and the Yankees)


"It basically says, ′Hey...I heard you got a new lover′ so..."

- Kiha and the Faces

Zico is stormed with hateful comments by displaying the confederate flag



Aside from getting criticized for homophobic slur in his rated-19 MV, Block B's Zico, who has just released his solo debut track 'Tough Cookie' is stormed with hateful comments by wearing a confederate flag on his MV.

Minutes after Zico dropped his MV, netizens have reacted to the use of a homophobic slur in his rap lyrics which basically degrades homosexuals.  Things have gone worse when some uploaded screen captures of Zico wearing a jacket with a confederate flag on his arm.

Confederate Flag has been on a heated debate being considered as a symbol of hate and racism. Though there are arguments that it is not, however displaying the said flag is a sensitive matter and can trigger arguments.

In a surprising move, SM announced the solo debut of two idol group members, Super Junior-M’s Zhou Mi and Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, within weeks of one another.

With Zhou Mi and Kyuhyun set to stand on the same stage but as solo artists in the coming weeks, we’re throwing them into the Battle ring and leaving the results up to you.

Zhou Mi enlisted the help of his label mates, including EXO’s Tao and Chanyeol and f(x)’s Amber, to make his mark on the K-Pop scene with Rewind, and to say fans are stuck on the track is an understatement.
